It has the bearing of the Radeon HD 7990, but with a cut PCB and cooler

By now, everyone knows that AMD is dropping the Radeon HD brand and releasing R9/R7 cards instead, but the previous rumors of things like Radeon HD 8970 persist, and Maxsun has just revealed a card that looks just like it.

At least that's how some people on the next have put it (VideoCardz). The adapter isn't nearly so advanced though.

Despite the fact that it looks like a shorter Radeon HD 7990, and resembles previously leaked pictures of alleged HD 8970, it is actually a Radeon HD 7850.

That means it has the Pitcairn Pro GPU (860 MHz), 1 GB GDDR5 256-bit VRAM (4800 MHz).

The cooler is a dual-fan model (90 mm each) with three external nickel plated heat pipes.

As for the rest, the board is made with a 6 phase VRM (4+1+1) and VGA, HDMI and DVI outputs.

Sadly, availability is restricted to China, for 1099 yuans ($179 / €133 - €179).
